All selected candidates will, therefore, undergo rigorous reference and background checks. Job Purpose and Organizational Context UNDP works in about 170 countries and territories supporting partner countries to achieve the eradication of poverty, the reduction of inequalities and the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). More specifically, UNDP supports partner countries to develop policies, leadership skills, partnering abilities, institutional capabilities and building resilience to sustain development results. UNDP's Regional Service Centre for Africa (RSCA), based in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia (serving 46 Country Offices in sub-Saharan Africa), develops high quality knowledge and policy products, and is the organisation's main interface with regional and continental bodies such as the African Union (AU) and the Regional Economic Communities (RECs). The RSCA also implements a newly launched, continent-wide Regional Programme supporting Africa's transformational agenda in the following priority areas, namely: - Priority 1 – People. African citizens (especially women and youth), in a context of reinvigorated social contracts, have a stronger voice and influence in African Union, regional economic communities and regional mechanisms policymaking and implementation processes. - Priority 2 – Prosperity. African citizens (especially women and youth) benefit from a regionally integrated, structurally transformed, and inclusive economy. - Priority 3 – Planet. African citizens (especially women and youth), supported by the African Union and regional economic communities and regional mechanisms, build a resilient Africa. - Priority 4 – Peace. African citizens (especially women and youth), supported by the African Union and regional economic communities and regional mechanisms, achieve measurable progress towards sustainable peace. The Regional Programme for Africa is firmly aligned with addressing the multidimensional challenges faced with a strong emphasis on the eradication of poverty and the reduction of inequalities by accelerating the structural transformation of economies from agriculture-based to manufacturing and beyond. Furthermore, increasingly in the evolving aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, a much stronger focus on building resilience to multidimensional shocks is also an important priority in Africa. These priorities are being strongly integrated into the focus areas of the UNDP RSCA Inclusive Growth (IG) Team, which, under priority 2 above, increasingly supports regional development that is inclusive and transformational, but also sustainable and resilient in eradicating poverty and reducing inequalities over time. More specifically - under the umbrella of the African Agenda 2063 and UN SDGs 2030 - the IG team's main thrust is to support African countries to align and integrate these global and continental agendas for sustainable development into their respective National Development Plans. The UNDP Strategic Plan 2022-25, Renewed Strategic Offer for Africa, and Regional Programme for Africa emphasize the need for stronger collaboration within UNDP RSCA. As a result, the Inclusive Growth (IG) team must work more closely with other thematic teams, including Gender, Youth, Natural Capital and Environment, Private Sector, Governance, and Resilience. This collaboration aims to deliver a more integrated package of services, covering policy and programme development, assessments, tools and evidence, and capacity-building support. The focus areas include employment creation, informality, social protection, structural economic transformation, SDG integration, and regional trade under AfCFTA. In addition to its role as the provider of advisory services to partner countries, the IG Team continues to implement regional initiatives through the Regional Programme for Africa. Against this background, the IG team is currently looking to recruit up to 6 Associates to support the work of the IG Team along the following overarching thematic areas, and offers each Associate a chance for deeper investigation in one of the three following areas: 1.

Background Plastics play a crucial role in modern society due to their versatility, durability, affordability, and lightweight nature. These qualities make them essential in various sectors, including packaging, healthcare, construction, electronics, and automotive manufacturing. However, unsustainable production practices and inadequate waste management and disposal have led to widespread plastic pollution. Plastic pollution drives nature loss, destroys important ecosystems, fuels the climate crisis, and harms human health. At its core, plastic pollution threatens sustainable development. To address this urgent crisis and work towards turning off the tap of plastic pollution, UNDP has developed a Global Plastics Offer with a focus on: • Policy and regulation: supporting governments in developing and implementing policy instruments including Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), single-use plastics regulation, and more. • Innovation and technology: incentivizing and scaling up innovative solutions, including sustainable business models, alternative delivery systems and ecological alternatives in key sectors such as packaging and tourism. • Waste management: supporting municipal governments in eliminating plastic waste leakage and improving waste management systems, including through improving business operations and working with the informal sector. • Capacity development and knowledge management: building capacities, boosting behavior change, and establishing knowledge networks to help governments in their journey towards ending plastic pollution. Within UNDP's Bureau for Policy and Programming Support (BPPS), the Chemicals and Waste Hub is responsible for providing policy and technical support, as well as designing, implementing, and overseeing projects addressing the sound management of chemicals and waste to reduce the risk of exposure to hazardous chemicals and protect human health and the environment. UNDP features the UN's largest portfolio of in-country programming on environment, climate change, and energy – with a significant portfolio relevant to plastics and solid waste management. The Chemicals and Waste Hub supports 85 countries in meeting their obligations under the Montreal Protocol, Stockholm Convention, Minamata Convention, the Global Framework on Chemicals (GFC) and many more through projects funded by the Global Environment Facility and bilateral donors. The C&W Hub is seeking a Communications and Research Intern to support the team's work related to plastic pollution. Scope of Work: Duties and Responsibilities Under the overall guidance of the Global Lead for UNDP's Global Plastics Offer and the direct supervision of the team's Policy and Technical Specialists, the intern will help to: Research and Analysis (40%) • Conduct literature review on plastic applications and lifecycle management, and emerging innovations and scenario-based solutions to reduce plastic pollutions; • Conduct evidence reviews on regulatory policies, market-based instruments, voluntary and informational strategies applied towards addressing plastic pollution; • Support reviewing the active plastics and waste portfolio and identify compelling country-level projects; • Research and identify good practices to showcase in knowledge products, including digital and AI tools. • Research on strategies and actions on reducing plastic pollution by multinationals.
